How Can Depression And Anxiety Be Treated?

I have been on several (zoloft, lexapro, etc...) SSRI s but could not tolerate the side effects. I also have high anxiety levels so I ve been told Wellbutrin is not an option. Are there any antidepressants that help with depression and anxiety that does not make one gain weight? Thank you.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Prod episode is good option. For initial anxiety, low dose Clonazepam is beneficial. This does not increase the weight also cognitive behavioral therapy is very useful with trained therapist.

Hope this clarifies your concern. Thank you for the query.

Take care
